a Fortune Returned After Many
Years, With the Interest.

New HAVEN, May 6.-The Register to-
night prints remarkable story of financial
integrity on the part of Southern capital
ist, which stands without parallel in the
commercial history of the country. The
names of the principals are withheld, bit
the eminent respectability of the counsel in
the case, ex-Judge Luson B. Morris of this
city, is sufficient guarantee of its truthful
ness. The Register says, at the beginning Of
the war wealthy Southern grocer, who mad
recently taken young bookkeeper into parS-
nershi0 fearing mis- property would be con-
fiscated, decided to go North. He told the
bO0kkeeper to uSe the property, valued at
about S4C0,000, as he thought best, and that
he (the merchant) would rely upon the book
keepers honor for settlement at some fu-
ture time The merchant cane North and

South, the merchant placed the matter in the
hands of Judge Morris, with instructions to
investigate and cOllect,if there was anything
to collect. After some correspondence with
the bookkeeper at the South, he forwarded
an acknowledgment of the claim and an in
ventory showing his Indebtedness to the New
Havener to be SesSCe0, He expressed de-
sire to return the property, but requested
time to perfect arrangements. He began re-
mitting to the North several years ago, aud

honor. Judge Morris declines to give the
details, further than that the Southern gen.

THE TRounLE IN HAvEnn1LL.

AhE lhOObAE IN hANkishlLL.
The Haverhills found fault with Umpire
Barton Thursday for making what they
called three unjust decisions. The Haver-
hill Bulletin states them as follows:
Fitzgerald started into pitch and Polhe-
mus the first man at the Dat led of with
ringing base hit which Lally followed uD
with three bagger to long right field. The
umpire declared POlhemus out for not touch
ing third base. In conversation with a re-
putable Haverh!ll gentleman last evening, Mr..
Barton said that he did not see the play but
had instructed the Portland catcher 10 watch
third while he watched second. A truly wise
and honest act on his part. In the sixth
inning Barber drove hot grOunder TO Stine
which the latter muttied, and Lufbery who
was running to third, either Intentionally or
aecidently kicked the ball out Of the way so
that II was impossible for Stine TO field IL.
The rule reads: The base runner Is out IL
he in any way obstructs fielder attempting
TO field batted ball. and It does not say
that such interference shall be Intentional
In the last inning when it would have made
no absolute difference in the result Of the
game Farrow was on third and Bradley on
second, Stine was given his base on balls
and was playing off the bag Immediately be-
hind Seh0eneck, McCann drove a high fly to
Schoeneck which he barely caught and he
and Stine commenced sprint race for the
bag As Stine Is sprint runner with a
record Of 10 3-4 seconds ii can readily be
seen that The got there ahead Of the big first
base man, yet Barton called him out and
said Schoeneck touched him"
For this the crowd nearly nobbed Mr.
Barton and as no police protection was offer
ed the Portlands rallied to his defence and
several were struck with stones and mud.
The above is the Haverhill side Of the story.
Everyone who knows Mr.. Barton will read
lily believe the Hayerhill people are wrong
in judging him as they do. Mr.. Spence will
lay the matter before the league and will
not play in Haverhill again unless protec-
tion is provided for such cases. IL Is difficult
to see why Polhemus shouldn't have been
declared out for not touching third base.
The Bulletin doesn't even claim that he
touched IT,

room was packed to suffocation, with crowds
in the street unable to gain admittance.
Teams from every section of the country
